I build small tools that take friction out of audio post-production and music workflows.
"My background is that of a composer, and when I sound design, I like to think like a composer. In composition there's this term called counterpoint. And essentially it means negotiating several independent voices and finding creative ways for them to coexist."
The same idea shows up in the code. Most of what's here is about getting separate voices, software, hardware, formats, sessions, to coexist cleanly so the workflow stays 'quiet' while creating on music, sound, and stories in audio projects.
- Pro Tools, REAPER DAW automation
- MIDI tooling and
.midnamworkflows - Audio post-production processes
- Small Python and web tools that solve one problem well
- articulation-mapper — a modern editor for
.midnamand.middevfiles, mapping virtual instrument patches to MIDI program changes for Pro Tools.
- curtismacdonald.com — work, writing, experiments, and contact
If you're using one of these tools and something breaks or could be better, open an issue. I read them.
